NEC America Unveils Pure IP UNIVERGE Architecture

NEC America unveiled UNIVERGE, a pure-IP architecture and new product family to unify voice, video and data onto a single network. The UNIVERGE architecture will integrate VoIP, data and video networking solutions supported by NEC with services including network performance and security assessments, and network monitoring and management. The architecture will also support vertical market applications such as healthcare, education, hospitality, government, retail, legal, financial, manufacturing, call centers and entertainment.



The current release will include the SV7000 full-featured telephony server. The SIP- enabled, client server configuration supports the broadest range of telephones in the market, from wired to wireless, as well as proprietary and standards-based. A unique feature of this IP system is that an optional chassis can be added to expand the number of IP ports if needed.



NEC's wireless LAN solution, the UNIVERGE WL Series, announced in late 2003, is also part of the UNIVERGE portfolio. http://www.necam.com
